Global overview of youth development: Comparison of the 5 Cs and developmental assets across six countries
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-23)
Positive Youth Development (PYD) frameworks which describe young people's strengths and their relation to thriving and risk outcomes have gained significance among developmental researchers globally. As these models are ...
Spatial language use predicts spatial memory of children: evidence from sign, speech, and speech-plus-gesture
(The Cognitive Science Society, 2021)
There is a strong relation between children’s exposure to spatial terms and their later memory accuracy. In the current study, we tested whether the production of spatial terms by children themselves predicts memory accuracy ...
Culture in physical activity: The contribution of basic psychological needs and goal orientation
(MDPI, 2022-12)
Numerous variables affect motivation in physical activity (PA) with culture being an understudied variable. Self-determination theory’s basic psychological needs (BPN) includes a combination of autonomy, competence, and ...
Relations between bedtime parenting behaviors and temperament across 14 cultures
(Frontiers Media, 2022-11-24)
Objectives: The present study examined parental sleep-supporting practices during toddlerhood in relation to temperament across 14 cultures. We hypothesized that passive sleep-supporting techniques (e.g., talking, cuddling), ...
Speaking but not gesturing predicts event memory: a cross-linguistic comparison
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-09)
Every day people see, describe, and remember motion events. However, the relation between multimodal encoding of motion events in speech and gesture, and memory is not yet fully understood. Moreover, whether language ...
Speaking and gesturing guide event perception during message conceptualization: Evidence from eye movements
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
Speakers' visual attention to events is guided by linguistic conceptualization of information in spoken language production and in language-specific ways. Does production of language-specific co-speech gestures further ...
Early teacher–child relationships promote self-regulation development in prekindergarten
(MDPI, 2022-07)
Children’s experiences during the prekindergarten period are critical for shaping their emerging self-regulation skills. The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of teacher–child relationship quality to ...
Linguistic encoding of inferential evidence for events
(The Cognitive Science Society, 2022)
How people learn about events often varies with some events perceived in their entirety and others are inferred based on the available evidence. Here, we investigate how children and adults linguistically encode the sources ...
Universality and diversity in event cognition and language
(The Cognitive Science Society, 2022)
Humans are surprisingly adept at interpreting what is happening around them – they spontaneously and rapidly segment and organize their dynamic experience into coherent event construals. Such event construals may offer a ...
Screen media exposure in early childhood and its relation to children's self-regulation
(Wiley-Hindawi, 2022)
Self-regulation, the ability to control thoughts, emotions, and behavior for goal-directed activities, shows rapid development in infancy, toddlerhood, and preschool periods. Early self-regulatory skills predict later ...
